It's a 4. Don't have too many of them, but I like the huge jaw spread.

Ya man, gotta protect our moose!

Had some fun lookin in my backcountry, found some lynx tracks deep in akulerak.

Looks like deep snow in there, its should get hard enough to drive a truck on after this warm spell.

Tonights dinner is Rocky Mountain Oysters

Yeah was raining earlier down here. How bout them hills? Not to be dumb but what's the dish made of?

Looks like beer battered fish, I would eat it if it were. Let me guess, dipping sauce behind the entrée? You finally grossed me out.

We have wet snow here Sonny most likely turn to rain yet.

I knew you South East guys would know what beer batter halibut looks like,I could eat that stuff for breakfast its so good

I usually do eat it for breakfast the next day, and lunch...and dinner.

Yeah it was mix snow n rain, I've had battered halibut, good stuff, I bet for breakfast with boiled eggs n syrup would be good. Don't get halibut on a regular. Halibut really good for akutak though!

Off subject Jeff, do you know if big John is back in Afghanistan? I know he's a 2nd LT, first in the family on my side, how bout your side?

Not sure.

Well the Ol' Blister and I were just out logging. On the way I had to chase a cow and calf off the trail. I knocked a couple large birch and bucked the first one. Next I started bucking the second one when I looked up and here they come. I'm yelling and waving but those tender birch tops were too tempting.

So by now Barb is in the fetal position behind a big spruce and I figured I might as well continue. So here I am bucking one end of the tree as the cow is limbing the other end. We each keep working towards each other until we are about 20 feet apart. She decides she needs to come over and work from the same side I'm on. By this time Barb is screaming like a girl ! FCOL !

Eventually discretion overcame valor and I figured I'd just wait until she finished eating. (not Barb. The other cow) I left the saw right there. I hope she finishes bucking the tree for me.

ROTFLMAO! Poor Barb!!!

Any pictures?

No pix. I have to go back and get the saw so I may take the camera. By that time Barb should be almost to the top of that spruce. I better take the telephoto..

Luckily discretion does not overcome valor all the time. If it did, what fun would life be?!!

LMAO you sure can tell a story

Holy cow - that is a story.

Only if he shoots her Niner!

LOL ! Well I went back for round two so I could pick up my saw. As luck would have it she had bedded down and her head was three feet from my saw ! The calf was about six feet behind her. Tomorrow is another day.

Those moose sure do love to do the limbing. Used to drop the trees this time of year and leave em till spring. The moose got to eat, we got the tree all limbed up....
Good deal for both parties...
